Areas affected...Central Mississippi

Concerning...Tornado Watch 125...

Valid 022351Z - 030045Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 125 continues.

SUMMARY...Supercells with a history of tornadoes will likely persist
through early evening where a corridor of greater tornado risk
appears likely this evening.

DISCUSSION...Several small supercells along and west of I-55 have
produced confirmed tornadoes over the last 90 minutes. KDGX analysis
shows several low-level mesocyclones with VROTs of 40-50 kts and a
considerable TDS near Yazoo City, MS. SPC mesoanalysis and regional
VWPS show strong veering wind profiles with 200-300 m2/s2 ESRH ahead
of the ongoing storms to near the warm front across north-central
Mississippi. A corridor of greater tornado potential is likely
evolving. The potential exists for several additional tornadoes,
(possibly significant) to develop and track northeastward to the
warm front over the next 1 to 3 hours.

I note SPC mentions significant tornadoes in that discussion; may have had one already with Yazoo City and so many more popping up with potential

Yup, but not sure how long the threat persists after 01z for them to make any increase in tornado probs in an outlook... unless they issued a special one, which is probably not their main worry right now as they have to keep nowcasting and coordinating with WFOs, I would imagine...

WLBT has it on a tower cam, very impressive shot; Brandon Clement apparently had it as well

Some highly impressive shots coming out of the jungles of southern Mississippi today.
